Guest THE COMPUTER LAB Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 XP Home machine runs miserably slow. When you try to restart, you will notice the ShutDown button missing. So I reset the PC and Safe Mode runs very fast with the shutdown button appearing okay. Cannot find any discussion so far on this. Don't quote those MS KB articles about using GPEDIT.MSC because it is not used in XP Home. Also, does not matter what value you use in 'shutdownwithoutlogon' registry key. TIA
